What to Do in Syracuse

The growth of Syracuse as a prominent city is due to its geographic location and geologic wealth. In 1570 Onondaga leader Hiawatha chose the site as the location of the capital of the Iroquois Confederacy. The Jesuits founded a mission and fort called Ste. Marie de Gannentaha in the area in 1656. The fort was abandoned after 2 years.
